Ingredients
- 2/3 c quinoa dry
- 1 cup zucchini grated
- 1/3 cup whole grain breadcrumbs
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 Tbsp Asiago cheese fresh grated
- 1 Tbsp basil chopped, or 1 tsp dry, fresh
- 1 Tbsp chives chopped, or 1 tsp dry, fresh
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper ground
- 2 egg beaten slightly
- 1 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Mix the quinoa with 1 1/3 c water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Uncover, and let the quinoa cool slightly.
- Press the grated zucchini between two paper towels to remove some of the extra moisture.
- In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, cheese, basil, chives, salt and pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if desired.
- Add the egg and mix until the mixture is moist.
- Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Shape the quinoa mixture into ¼ c patties. Place the patties on the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the patties are golden.
- Repeat with any additional mixture, adding butter if the skillet seems dry. Keep the finished patties warm in a low oven until everything has been cooked.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and a salad.
